Pain! Unrelievable pain...

I have, what I have diagnosed as, a sinus infection tooth ache. I am in pain. Since I am pregnant, and especially since I'm in my last trimester, I cannot, whatsoever take Ibuprofen (which is my pain reliever of choice). I'm reduced to taking Tylenol. What I am wondering is why Tylenol is even sold with the title of "pain reliever". It is like taking candy or something. It does take a slight, very minor edge off of the pain, long enough for me to sleep for a couple of hours. But the pain does not completely go away and I have been living for a few days with constant pain.

The pain is no longer in my teeth, but more in my sinus cavity. Whoopy. I need a healing! Derrick looked online at some "home remedies" (more like home vomitings). The first one was to either chew, or put in water, garlic, salt & onion. Since we have all of those in powders, Derrick made me a mixture in warm water. It took all my strength to not vomit. It also took about 2 hours to get the garlic taste out of my mouth. BTW, I hate strong garlic flavor. The second one wasn't disgusting, just ridiculous sounding. It was to rub a piece of ice on a part of my hand for 5-7 minutes. As I'm rubbing the ice on my hand, I'm laughing to myself and with Jesus. Ice? Seriously? On my hand?

So here I am, at 2:45 a.m., writing this with a swollen cheek and insane amounts of pain. It's not NEARLY as bad as when I had vertigo, but I'm kind of in the same mindset. That is to say that I have no relief. And it's all because of this sweet, precious baby growing in my belly. God must have a major call on his life for me to have been tested me in so many areas during this pregnancy. I've had 3 sicknesses, during this pregnancy, where I have had to endure a little bit more pain (or in the case of vertigo, A LOT of pain & awfulness), just to protect the health of this little one growing in my belly.

I'm off to finish watching late-night History channel.
